Well, these are the only dogs who ever bit me. If I had a gun, I would have shot them also! They are mean, nasty, and should be in a cage! I've worked with wolves, Labradors, Rotweilers, German Shepherds, and many other dogs. Never a problem. Just these little crazy critters have bit me!
All police video devices should be activated when they suit up for the "field". There should be no way that an officer can disable them until the end of their shift and they remove their uniforms!
I think there is only one really smart device, and it resides between our ears! As a software and electrical engineer with 35 years of experience, I can only say DO NOT TRUST THESE DEVICES!
Just about every US currency bill in circulation has a residue of drugs (mostly cocaine). My shoes probably would get a "positive" hit because I walk on public sidewalks!
FWIW, we never did lose any of our colleagues! My girlfriend wanted me to work with her father on a big tunneling job (he was chief engineer for the Straight Creek Tunnel under Loveland Pass) - better pay, but after some consideration I decided that being a logger was safer! He had lost a number of employees in rock falls. :-)
And if you want to know what "dangerous" work is, just stand on a berm of trees almost 100 feet from the ground with an 18" chain saw to cut up the trees so they can feed the fire just below your feet! Suddenly "situational awareness" means something to you!
Well, I was a logger in the Rocky Mountains in the 1960s. Pay wasn't great, but the exercise was. One day, shortly after I got the job, my team foreman, a Swede, dropped a sapling on my head (hard hat kept me from getting too messed up) to get my attention! I never forgot that lesson! We worked together for another year. We cut a lot of trees, clearing roads, ski areas, and interstate highways. We would work through the winter, heading out to the work sites at 6am when it was below zero!
Ok. No laptop on flight, but I have to put my Li-Ion batteries in my carry on. "Why yes officer, those three laptop batteries in my backpack are bombs. How did you know?"
I think Assange may have been wise to face up to the charges in Sweden. Chances are they would not have extradited him to the USA since he is not a US citizen.
There are fixed wing and copter (usually quad-copter) drones. My grandson designs and builds both types. Limited in range and altitude unless he uses a directional control antenna (some sort of yagi-uda antenna) in which case the altitude and distance becomes quite remarkable. All of his drones are fitted with video cameras. He has some amazing footage. In any case, he is careful to adhere to FAA and other rules regarding the use of these devices for personal use.
He designs and builds all of the control electronics as well as hand constructs the drones themselves.

Dangerous jobs
garbage collectors have more risk, with much less pay and respect:
